Do you think train operators should make a quarter million a year to drive the same train on the same route every day?

The "train operators" cited were averaging around $80k for a 40 hour week. That comes to an hourly pay of around $38, when not working overtime. I don't see that as crazy high pay for a place like SF.

The total pay is quarter of a million. 80k + "other pay" whatever the fuck "other pay" is.

Yeah. It's an actually useful job compared to writing surveillance advertising software.

[dehrmann]

What's "other pay?"

[buckle8017]

It's overtime that they get paid because the unions rules make it impossible to schedule normal hours.

[VonGuard]

Yes.
